Homes for sale in Kruiskamp-Midden, Amersfoort

House prices and market figures for Kruiskamp-Midden, Amersfoort

Kruiskamp-Midden is a neighbourhood where buying is certainly possible, but the owner-occupied market is limited in size. Of the 927 homes, only 36% are owner-occupied, while 64% are rental properties. This makes supply scarce and competition for a suitable home real. The average WOZ value is €350,000, which is slightly above the district average of Kruiskamp (€339,000), but clearly below the municipal average of Amersfoort (€432,000). This price difference makes the neighbourhood relatively affordable by Amersfoort standards.

In the past twelve months, ten homes changed hands, with an average purchase price of €388,800. The range ran from €289,000 to €450,000, indicating that both entry-level homes and larger owner-occupied homes are available. With an average living area of 83 m², this works out at a price per square metre of approximately €4,685. These are mainly ground-floor terraced houses and smaller single-family homes from the post-war construction period. Current asking prices and the average time on market can be found in the overview at the top of this page.

Living in Kruiskamp-Midden, Amersfoort

Kruiskamp-Midden is a down-to-earth, mixed urban neighbourhood that you will find in the western belt of Amersfoort for good reason. Its character is urban without being busy: streets with terraced houses from the 1950s and 1960s, the occasional porch block, and a mix of residents that give the neighbourhood its own colour. It is not a shiny new-build district or a trendy city quarter, but a neighbourhood where people simply live and enjoy doing so.

The housing stock largely consists of post-war terraced houses with small front and back gardens. The homes are functional, sometimes a bit dated in appearance, but offer relatively plenty of space for the price. If you are looking for a home to buy with a garden and a garage or storage space, you can find it here at a price that is harder to come by elsewhere in Amersfoort.
